Florida Retail Market Opportunities

On today’s podcast, we talk with Derek Waltchack about the retail asset class with a focus on strip centers. As Derek shares, there is a lot of misinformation about the retail asset class. Many investors steer clear of retail, especially when retail assets like malls are not doing so well — but malls are not the real “bread and butter”. Despite what you may hear, retail is a very stable asset class, especially when it comes to strip centers in good neighborhoods.

Derek also takes us into the new modern world of blockchain, the record-keeping technology behind bitcoin that is used to store digital information in a public database, and which is starting to be used in real estate transactions.
